A Goiter on Jozi’s Cock

KAK.

Joburg is phallic town. A city built on the dark act of rooting the earth and each other, for money. In Jozi, many a fortune has been built on the back of gold mining and industrial buggery, by proud heterosexual patriarchs with moustaches. The Hillbrow Tower represents this, and we, the people have appropriated and grown fond of this glowing beacon of Jozi’s manhood. Throbbing its transmissions of manly, urban economic development into the African sky. Alongside that other phallic cylinder, Ponte, these buildings distinguish Johannesburg’s skyline and speak honestly of the city’s basic motives. So who the fuck do Telkom think they are hanging a giant soccer ball off the city’s cock? Like a huge football shaped goiter. It may have been more acceptable had they left two massive soccer balls at the base of the tower. But this?! This is gross.

Worse yet, this goiter on the cock of Johannesburg pretty much sums up the situation when you consider how the FIFA / SA Government alliance is intent to profiteer from our World Cup at the expense of the South African people. Here we’re talking about economic exclusion zones, special liquor licenses, clamps on media freedom, expensive stadia, etc. We’re nothing if not honest, because here we have a visual representation of a huge football shaped parasite clamped around the city’s main vein.
